The grand Mufti of Ilorin, Sheikh Sulyman Faruq Onikijipa, yesterday revealed that the late Sheikh Isiaka Sulaiman Ajimati, brother of the director general of the National Institute of Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Prof Abubakar Sulaiman, had confided in him that he wanted him to attain a great status like a governor.

He said the late cleric, who later relocated to Ajase, Cotonou, in the Republic of Benin, had “prayed and sacrificed” for his younger brother (NILDS DG) to attain great status in life, including becoming a governor.

Onikijipa spoke at the fidau prayer for the repose of the soul of the late brother of the NILDS DG, held at the Sulaimans’ family compound, Oke-leru Ilorin, Kwara State.

Recalling his relationship with the deceased, the grand mufti recalled how the late cleric dedicated special supplications and sacrificed for his younger brother’s success.

“He (late Ajimati) had told me as far back as 1983 that his wish was for his younger brother (Prof Sulaiman), who is an academic, to attain a great status in life like governors”, Onikijipa told the audience at the well-attended session.
